Y. I n an effort to develop a spirit of sportsmanship and good fellowship among those engaged in the trade, the late Joseph ("Danny") Dannenberg first conceived the idea of a tournament and presented his plan to a group of representative motion picture golfers. Their support was enlisted and the first tournament held at Oak Ridge. A second event was held in the Fall of 1921, and, following that, two tournaments have been held yearly. Although the early events were only attended by Eastern film folk, they have become so popular that now film golfers travel from distant points to compete. 927
